Chicken
- 4 Chicken Thighs
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
Biscuit Dough
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Cold Butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup Milk
For Frying
- Oil for frying
Optional Garnishes
- Pickles
- Slaw
- Cheddar cheese
- Honey (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Begin by placing your chicken thighs in a bowl and covering them with buttermilk. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator to enhance their flavor and tenderness.
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add in milk and mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, dredge in seasoned flour, and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Bake the Biscuits: While the chicken is frying, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the biscuit dough on a floured surface, then cut it into rounds. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the Sliders: Once the biscuits and chicken have cooled slightly, slice the biscuits in half. Place a piece of fried chicken between each biscuit to create your sliders. Add garnishes such as pickles or slaw if desired.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs and spices can greatly enhance the flavor, so always opt for fresh where possible.
- Control the Temperature: Keeping your frying oil at the right temperature is key; too hot and your chicken will burn, too cool and it will become greasy.
- Rest the Chicken: Allowing the fried chicken to rest before serving helps retain its juices and keeps it tender.
- Make Uniform Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter to ensure all biscuits bake evenly, resulting in a consistent texture and appearance.
- Experiment with Fillings: Don’t hesitate to get creative with different toppings and spread options that suit your taste!
